Don’t worry boys, I’m not being a ‘misandrist’ leaving you out – feel free to join in with us as we discuss our PERIODS. Oh. Bye then…. It’s not just about periods, but I did […]
I don’t know about other markets, but modelling in London in January is rather slow. There are jobs and castings, definitely – but it’s rarely the most satisfying satisfying month of work. Plus – can I be honest […]
I see why we do it. Making insane diet/fitness resolutions that 98% of us will embark on with good intentions….And give up by January 11th. Dry January, long, miserable runs in the winter darkness, shivering over a […]
As I said yesterday, us models experience moments of chronic embarrassment too. In fact I’d venture to say that it’s worse for us, as our shameful episodes generally caught on camera. One of Bookings Models’ most […]
Something that seems to have resonated with a lot of my readers is my embarrassing stories. A lot of the embarrassment stems from vaginally-related narrative, though there are other body parts always willing to show […]
You always want what you don’t have, and I would LOVE to have curly hair! I love the way it announces the wearer’s entrance when arriving in a room, the fact that it’s an instant […]
Just in case you missed it, you can see Part I of Louise’s wonderful interview with Modeltypeface on the previous post – she doesn’t mince her words! With no further ado, here’s Part II! R: Though […]
Every model has great boots: FACT. I learnt, very early on, that every model needs: – A ginormous bag housing your book, a hairbrush, heels and a trillion Pret receipts. – A pair of skinny jeans […]
I find it very hard to keep up my healthy eating habits when the temperature drops. The bikini casting tomorrow tells me I should be drinking my green juice and munching on salads…But I know that will […]
I’ll be honest with you. When Coco Rocha said that she’d answer a few questions for Modeltypeface, I ran around in circles for 5 minutes, called my boyfriend and spoke in excited, monosyllabic utterances and […]
Every New Face needs a model to look up to – it helps gives us inspiration to set out the sort of career path we want to follow, and motivation to keep us wanting to […]
So, the Victoria Secret Angels have rolled into London and are wafting about, bearing their peace signs, pouts and pertness. This is just like my own girl’s school photo This is wonderful timing, as it’s just […]
Believe me – I take problem skin really seriously. Having had acne three times in my life so far (at 16, 19 and 21), I realise what it’s like to walk around feeling ashamed of […]
Having spent a long weekend eating and drinking around Paris with my boyfriend, I feel properly in need of a detox. When I drink wine every day and eat too much bread, croissants, dairy and meat, I […]
Everyone gets jealous in the fashion industry. There is always a girl who’s prettier, has a better body, a more winning smile, a better personality. There’s always a photographer getting more work, or a make up […]
Yesterday, I did my first ever full-on lingerie shoot. I have obviously worn swimwear and the odd underwear set on jobs, but a lingerie client has never booked me to represent their brand. This has […]
To give you an idea of why one might need to think about maintaining a relationship in modelling, let me give you a couple of examples of what my boyfriend, Theo, has had to deal […]
I remember a really arsey hair stylist getting annoyed at me a couple of years ago. “What do you use on your hair? It’s not in great condition.” (FYI I thought my hair felt lovely!) […]
Every model needs a little collection of recipes to cook. How do I know? Because, when I was travelling a lot more, I couldn’t cook for toffee. I remember my first time away in Paris […]
My mate Rudie. I met her three years ago, and I knew, from the second she walked in the room, that she’d be a success. She’s absolutely beautiful (obviously!) but there was something more – […]
So, my next ‘Model Dictionary’ entry is… NIPPLE HASSLES! This is the general hassle, boomf and pain that arises whilst possessing a pair of nipples in the fashion industry. Common problems include: – Sheer agony […]
When I started modelling, the only exercise I did was walking to bus stops. I was, by now, in sixth form, so the weekly hour of humiliation and torture that others like to call PE […]
I’m not remotely embarrassed to say this: Emily is one of those girls that I can’t help sometimes feeling a bit jealous of. Whenever I see her, she has an enormous grin on her face, […]
When I started modelling, my mum was scared for me all the time. At the time, I couldn’t see what she was worried about – it was fine! Everyone I met was cool! It was […]
Commercial castings are castings for the ads you see on TV. Why do we want adverts? Well – they can pay quite well, and if the rights to the advert are bought in multiple countries […]
I’ve had a big couple of days, in regards to my own body image. It’s all sprung from a very trivial seeming event: namely, #Throwback pictures on Instagram. I put up these pictures, lightly joking/fishing for […]
How is this even worthy of a post? I hear you ask. What possible need for help could a person have to send a simple email?… Well…. Agencies get hundreds of emails every week from […]
As my last blog post on Kendall Jenner being bullied highlighted, models are burdened with misconceptions of bitchiness, backstabbing and hunger-induced nastiness. Apparently we all beatifically fight one another all the time Well let me […]
Steve Read is an absolutely ACE photographer. Every day his Instagram feed will be full of the ridiculously hot beautiful models – often posing in their smalls. All the pics in this blog post are […]
This is for the brave. You’re putting yourself out there, fully squaring up to the face of rejection, and that’s a very scary thing to do. The good news is: it’s utterly simple. You don’t […]
